Veterans Day
“To Be Secwépemc”
National Aboriginal Veterans Day is a memorial day observed in Canada in recognition of Inidgenous contributions to military service, particularly in the early formation of the Nation, as well the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and the countries where UN Peacekeepers served around the world. The day is observed annually on the 8th November and was inaugurated in Winnipeg in 1994, and has since spread nationwide.
There is a long list of Northern Secwepemc that have served this country since colonialization. On this day of remembrance, we honour and lift up the veterans among us and the memories of those who have passed. We are all grateful for their sacrifice.
